I tried this today! Thanks for the tip. My cat doesn't have bad hairball problems, but she does hack one up every now and then. She licked those chia seeds up with the gravy on her food (and left the solid stuff behind... what else is new).

Honestly, I didn't measure. I did "a pinch" which in my guess is probably close to 1/8 tsp? She weighs just over 7 pounds (last time I weighed her, but I probably ought to weigh her again). She is a shorthair who doesn't have hairball problems, so I figured it was just preventative more than anything.

😞 I didn't keep up with the chia seeds...kept getting the dose wrong.... Ended up kitty had issues, barfed in my bed (gross), and became impacted.... I'm a bad kitty mom and 👻 had a trip to the vet and a shot in the backside
